    HELP!

    so I recently have a broody hen who has hatched out some eggs. I noticed today she can not stand or walk. She’s very wobbly, and uses her wings to keep steady. I noticed her poop is a very light green and she is panting. Does anyone know what I should do for her?

    Sick 2 week old chick. Any way to save?

    I bought a group of chicks about 2 weeks ago, there's one particular that has been looking off since I got them.

    It has been SO so rainy here and we did not put new bedding down in our run. I’m so worried I hurt our chickens by letting the run get rainy the past few days. :( Everyone is acting normal so I dunno whose this is… If it is coccidiosis, can I get a confirmation of treatment? ;( We’ve got 19...

    Lethargic rooster - poo thread

    I posted earlier about my sick roo, Tucker, but the thread fizzled out with folks telling me to change my flock feed and nothing much related to what might be causing my rooster to lose all his energy and his balance.
